The S&P 500 Index finally bounced.
Technicians sighed in relief as the S&P 500 had an oversold bounce near its April low support level. On a side note, Wednesday's price plunge marked a 62% retracement of the February-September rally.
The fact that the S&P 500 closed so far off its Wednesday low (in very heavy trading) also has the look of a potential "climax" bottom.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that the two day bounce on Thursday and Friday came on declining volume. In addition, the S&P 500 remains below its August low and 200-day moving average.
From a different perspective, there are many risks blame-worthy for the recent market volatility.
Growth is slowing, prices are deflating, geopolitical turmoil is elevated, and Ebola is spreading.
